The Return of ISIS: The Group Is Rebuilding in Syria—Just as U.S. Forces Prepare to Leave

Nine months after the longtime dictator Bashar al-Assad was toppled by a rebel offensive, Syria faces a litany of new challenges. The country, which is now being led by the militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is contending with recurring violent sectarian clashes, successive Israeli strikes into Syrian territory, and internal disputes within the new government. Adding to the tumult is a resurgence of one of Syria’s most enduring challenges: the Islamic State, also known as ISIS.

It is Genocide

Hamas, a terrorist organization, began this war with its brutal attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people and took 250 hostages. Israel, as any other country, had a right to defend itself from Hamas.

But, over the last two years, Israel has not simply defended itself against Hamas. Instead, it has waged an all-out war against the entire Palestinian people. Many legal experts have now concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The International Association of Genocide Scholars concluded that “Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide.” The Israeli human rights groups B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel have reached the same conclusion, as have international groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

Assessing Russia’s Claims That Ukraine Is Responsible For Terrorism All Across Africa

The US has the power to put a stop to this by threatening to cut Ukraine off if it refuses but won’t because it believes that this might become useful down the line.

RT recently published a report about late August’s claims by Deputy UN Representative Dmitry Polyansky and Director of the Officers Union for International Security Alexander Ivanov that Ukraine is responsible for terrorism all across Africa. According to them, its drone pilots assist terrorist-designated forces in Mali, Sudan, the Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Kiev has also supplied Libya with drones for use in its civil war despite a Turkish prohibition.

Overview
Executive Summary

Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba (HHN) is an Iranian-backed, U.S.-designated militia formed in 2013 by Akram al-Kaabi, co-founder of the IRGC-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq (AAH). The exact relationship between AAH and HHN remains unclear. Kaabi denies there are any ideological disagreements with AAH, stating that the formation of HHN occurred due to disagreements “on style and how the work should be managed.” HHN is primarily comprised of former members of AAH, Kata’ib Hezbollah (KH), and possibly the “Promised Day Brigades.”

La fracture de l’ordre judéo-chrétien

Israël se trouve à l’aube d’une nouvelle réalité. Ses dirigeants parlent ouvertement de l’occupation permanente de Gaza et même de certaines parties du sud de la Syrie. Netanyahou a averti que le pays devait se préparer à l’isolement, à une économie de siège, à des industries qui produisent tout à l’intérieur même de la forteresse. Il ne s’agit pas de rhétorique, mais d’une préparation à un monde où les sanctions pourraient venir non pas des États arabes, longtemps écartés, mais de l’Occident même qui a autrefois assuré la survie d’Israël.
